Proverb - All are equal in the eyes of the law
Meaning –
1.Nobody is beyond the law.
2.The law is supreme. It treats all as equals.
3.Law applies to all to rich or poor
With this proverb I do not agree, it is just half proverb, or wrong proverb.
The full proverb should be like this
Proverb or Quote by sm –
“All are equal in the eyes of the law as per their income, class and status in society. “
Few examples I will give few examples where we can see that law is not equal for all, it depends on your money spending capacity.
1.Anything done by Member of Parliament in upper house is not punishable.
2.Suppose XYZ is punished by sessions court, lower court if criminal is a rich person he files appeal in the high court , he stays out of jail until his death Again if High court gives punishment he files appeal to the Supreme Court of India.
3.There are different kinds of crimes few are bailable and few are non bailable.
4.A poor person do not have money so he stays behind the bar that is in a jail even if his offence ,crime is bailable
5.On the contrary if person is rich, even if his guilt is proven in court and he is punished and convicted by court he stays out of jail until his youth is lost. What is the use of sending old man in jail?
6.Political parties come and beat the common persons on valentine days or attack media houses in presence of Police , but for them law is different. Common man is even afraid to go on the road where police station is situated.
7. In olden times people used to say, “Beta us raste se naa Jana, us ras Te pey police chowki hai. “ This means that , My son please do not use that road for traveling because on that road there is a police station “
Law is not equal for everyone, only in theory law is equal for everyone; in reality law is different as per your paying capacity.
Even Treatment given to prisoners is different in jail if you are rich one can get from bottle to female daily inside jail, and if you are poor you may end up in jail eating or drinking human xxxx.

I so agree with you here..law changes as per your financial status..more the money, less the law affects them..
Neha,
thanks
We are all not equals--some of us are being trated as jokers in the pack.
Law is the same but implementing authority is different or easy in implementing within different locations.
Talking over mobile while driving is common within smaller cities And the same within metro invites FINE.
All should be equal before the law but in reality are not. As you have said, influence, power and money decide how 'equal'you are!
In India even the laws themselves are not the same for all citizens. We do not have a uniform civil code and people of different religions are governed accordng to different laws.
